Can you bring a baby carrier on a plane with Alaska Airlines when traveling with a baby?

 

Bringing a baby carrier on Alaska Airlines

 

Yes — you can bring a baby carrier (soft sling or structured carrier) on Alaska Airlines when traveling with a baby. Helpful points to know:

  • The carrier is allowed through the airport and on board but flight attendants may ask you to stow it or remove the child during taxi, takeoff, and landing for safety
  • Car seats and strollers are accepted free of charge if you prefer to use an approved car seat in a purchased passenger seat
  • At security you and your baby may be screened and you might be asked to remove the child from the carrier for inspection
  • If you want to use a car seat on board it must be an FAA‑approved child restraint and you must buy a seat for the child
  • Tip — tell the gate agent if you’re checking a stroller or bringing a car seat so they can tag or advise you

If you want, tell me the carrier type or your baby’s age and I’ll help with the best option for the flight.
